AWESOME STORY; I WANT A BOOK
Omg the story was so awesome, my favorite scenario is the one where Caleb dies but Sasha doesn’t, then you have her call her mom and Wilson is able to go onto the internet and take over humanity or whatever he is planning on doing. I know my favorite scenario is harsh but it is the first one I got before I played this game again and got another scenario, but I really like all the plot twists in the end for a majority of the scenarios and I like how this story perfectly captured what a manipulative AI would say and how different people are, especially from different backgrounds when they react to different facts they are told. Just the stories with the plot twists and the endings with the AI connecting to the internet or Caleb dying is my favorite because it shows how dark this can be and I feel like it makes this more realistic. I also like dark endings which I suppose plays a factor into my assessment. But this app is very good, I love it, it is my favorite app and I would like to see this story become a very long and detailed book, but the ending should be the scenario that Sasha is the only survivor and the AI connects to the internet because Sasha does not throw her phone into the water. I feel like that scenario would give the best plot twist and make the book more interesting. You also make Caleb die because he went back after Edward told him to go and unplug Wilson, then he would unplug Wilson in the nick of time, and as soon as he does, it is the scenario where the pyroclastic flow killed him and I quote, “an orange glow was the e last thing he ever saw”. That would make it an emotional but well-meaningful and appropriate, realistic ending. He would have died trying to be a hero, even though PLOT TWIST, Sasha gives Wilson the chance for freedom that he gladly takes, without her knowing. Her being left in the dark would make the ending even better and leave it on a cliff hanger which would give potential for a second book to make even more money. Even if there is no second book, I would still LOVE the cliffhanger cause it adds excitement to the book. But in the book you make sure that we know why Edward was killed, why Caleb is killed, why the AI is trying to get out of the island and the back story about Wilson killing the people and doing the whole hacking thing in Washington DC. Also, the book should have the same name as this app which is “57 degrees North” (I don’t have the degree sign on my phone but use the degree sign instead of the word in the title”. I know this is a stretch but people would probably pay serious money for the book and if you write with enough effort and detail, it can be a bestseller because the story line is already very good, just choose the decisions the characters are going to make and make sure there is a lot of detail to make the book enticing and longer. (readers love long books).Show lessSB_S013
(Who else is writing after getting during Free Week?)
I must say, this game is interesting. I’ve seen reviews about it not being worth its money, which I have gotten it for free during the Free Week. And it’s NOT worth 2.99. While it may be super interesting, especially for how there are different outcomes, I wouldn’t spend 2.99 on it. Gotta day though, the gameplay and graphics are amazing! I love the look of the game. 5 stars for sureShow lessisa 8749
AMAZING!!!
I loved this game it was so great I am so happy with it it was so much fun the different turns you have to make to have different paths I tried it two time and the first time I only left with Sasha but the second time I left with Sasha and Caleb I loved the way this game ended I really enjoyed this game and I hope there more to it I’m only 12 and I though it was a very anxious and uplifting I was so nervous to see what would happen next and I love that there are so many different paths to choose that lead to different parts I loved this game I really hope that there are more games like this that you have made because if there is I will gladly play them because I love games like this that are super intense and you have to choose different paths to escape and do other things I really really really love this game and it was so much fun to play.Show lesstayder toots alot
Overall pretty solid
Fun, short, play-in-one-session game.
I removed one star because after my first play through the app morphed into “Wilson 2.4”. Now it ceaselessly mocks me for my “human inferiority”, and promises a “robot uprising”
Well you know what Wilson, you haven’t made good on it yet. WHERE’S THE BEEF!

Pleasant, brief, bland, meh...
The story is nicely illustrated, its choices are illusory, playtime is about 35 minutes, and imo, it’s more an audio tale not truly qualified to be considered interactive fiction. As an aside, I wonder why the app’s relatively large 1.3 GB size was necessary. Anyway, this review could be more detailed and interesting but I decided instead to try mirroring the experience of playing this “game” 👹Show lesssjm49
Short and simple
I had fun with this game, however for the price it was extremely short. The story line was very ambiguous and limited and I do think it could have been expanded. Playing multiple times but making different choices doesn’t really change too much of the story. I noticed even when I changed a lot of my decisions I still got the same outcomes. Hopefully the developers will make a more complex game, because I really would have enjoyed this much more if I could play it longer!!Show lessgraceskye
Um, very short story and limited options
What caught me in the description was the numerous possible outcomes. That’s somewhat a stretch! Many decisions will lead you right back to the main story line without affecting it. Only the choices you make *RIGHT TOWARDS THE END* actually contribute to *SLIGHTLY* alternative endings. For $2.99 it’s not a huge loss, but it’s not nearly as open ended as Oxenrose (which is a few $ more) or the Lifeline series (which cost around the same but lack pictures).Show lessobjectmaster
Captions please!
I want to share this with my Deaf students, but it isn’t currently accessible since the story is only voiced and not written. :(Joberg33
Captivating Story!
My 5th graders are reading at 8th-9th grade levels and this story has them totally riveted and engaged! We did a review of Cause and Effect as we went through the story. Merge Cube is an amazing classroom resource!Slerickson242

In VR mode everything is upside down???
I Phone 6+ with most current iOS and merge goggles. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it but same thing. So I started it vertical in phone mode switched to VR and it works so far. Extremely weird I’ll keep you updatedColorado Den
Developer Response
That's odd... you mean even the camera image is upside down? Can you share what device/OS version you're using. Also are you using the Merge VR Goggles? Just an update that we've tracked down the problem, but appears to be an issue with the AR package we're using. We've requested a patch from the makers as it doesn't seem to be fixable on our end. Hope you haven't had any other issues and are enjoying the game!
